A "good" paper

I think what makes a good paper really depends on the person who reads your paper and not having lots of grammar and punctuation errors. It does irritate me when like you work so hard on a paper and your thinking your paper is good but then you get it back with a grade you didnt expect. Some qualities I think make a good paper are Style, Vocabulary, Punctuation, and thesis.

Style: Such as what tense is being used, the point of view, the structure of how the sentence and paragraphs are written. 

Vocabulary:  I believe that vocabulary helps out a lot in a paper. With the level of how high your vocabulary is, you can describe just a simple idea with this big word rather than using the little vocabulary you have had for a while.

Punctuation: this skill also helps out a lot in a paper. Punctuation can help make sure what is said in the paper is clear, such as your sentences.

Thesis: Lastly,I think what helps make a good paper is how clear your thesis is and where it is put in the paper. It is always good to make your thesis understandable and back up your thesis with the correct data. You dont want to have a bunch of different ideas all over your paper.

Assignment number 2 101-10

 First choice being when I had to write a personal statement my senior year in high school. Ifirst thought I would have no problems with it and had time to do it. It turned out, I waited for the last minute to finish up my paper, and I had some difficulities figuring out what I can write about. When the paper was turned in and recieved it back I had gotten a C. was i satisfy? kind of but believe if i managed my time right I could of done better.This topic would be really good to write about because I can express how my feelings were with my grade and the effort I put into my paper.

Second choice, would be about the generations in my family and how different they are. First of all, I would be in first generation of attending college. Both my parents didnt attend college. So i feel that the way they speak with me is how my english is or the way I speak or write. My parents english is poor and they really didnt put much effort into their schooling, so talking about the way my parents and I talk with each other would explain my way of speaking and writing.
Third choice, I can write about is how my high school that I attended, didnt really prepare me for college. Their are many methods professors have to teach because students werent taught the material in high school. Its sad thinking you have enough knowledge to help pull you through with the past semester. When really you have to retake courses that you should have learned in high school.

1st Blog English 101

            I am taking English 101 because it was required to take this class. Though it is required to take, I do believe that I need more improvements on my writing techniques, skills, and gammar. I have always enjoyed writing a plethora of essays because I feel that I can express my opinions and my views of a variety of topics. The thesis in the introduction is one skill I tend to struggle with. I often find my thesis in the second to third paragraph and I don'tknow if that is alright. I would like to improve in that as well.When it comes to writing, my favorite part would be the free write. Free writing lets my mind wander off writing what I feel at that very moment. I don't have to stop and think about what my next sentence will be. I find free-writing much easier than brainstorming ideas because I build up more knowledge about my topic and get more into my paper. I feel that when I write, I don't quite have everything in the right place. I would like to improve in the organization of my paper.

            I walked into this class with somewhat knowledge of writing and by the end of the semester I want to walk out with a passing grade :) and  knowing I gained much more knowledge than I did in the begining of this semester.
